4. Loosen the Wing Nut (20) on the Hook (17) to remove one side of the Chain (13).
Move the Chain out of the way, making sure it will not be in the way of the Trans-
mission Jack when it lowers. (See Figure C.)
5. Make sure nobody is close to the Transmission Jack. Slowly turn the Release
Valve (47) counterclockwise to lower the Transmission Jack to its lowest
position. Then, wheel the Transmission Jack clear of the vehicle.
(See Figure A.)
INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING
1. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Transmission Jack. Check
for broken or bent parts, loose or missing parts, and any condition that may affect
the proper operation of the product. If a problem occurs, have the problem
corrected before further use.
Do not use damaged equipment.
2. Keep all moving parts of the Transmission Jack well lubricated. Periodically,
lubricate the Grease Fitting (33). (See Figure A.)
3. Change the hydraulic oil at least once every three years. To do so, with the
Transmission Jack fully collapsed remove the Oil Filler Plug (45) at the top of
the Oil Reservoir. Tip the Transmission Jack to allow the old oil to drain out of
the Reservoir completely, and dispose of the old oil in accordance with local
hazardous waste authority regulations. With Transmission Jack upright, com-
pletely fill the reservoir with a high quality hydraulic oil (not included). Then, re-
install the Oil Filler Plug. Make sure to thoroughly test the Transmission Jack
for proper operation prior to its actual use. If the Transmission Jack appears
not to be working properly, it may be necessary to purge its hydraulic
system of excess air. (See instructions on page 5 and Figure A.)
4. Purge the hydraulic system of air occasionally. Occasionally, the Transmis-
sion Jack will exhibit signs of excessive air in its hydraulic system such as slow
response to pumping, a spongy feeling to the pumping operation, and a general
lack of performance. To purge the hydraulic system of air, open the Release
Valve (never more than two turns). Loosen the Oil Filler Plug (45) just enough for
any air to escape. Then, re-tighten the Release Valve, and slowly pump the
Transmission Jack several times. The trapped air is pressurized and will be
audible when released in this manner. Once purged of air, check the Oil Reser-
voir and, if necessary, top off the Reservoir with hydraulic oil. Then, replace the
Oil Filler Plug, and completely lower the Transmission Jack. Make sure to
thoroughly test the Transmission Jack for proper operation prior to its
actual use. (See Figure A.)
